UFC 300 ~ Greatest Ever Card?

[mrpickem]

It may not have the best main event od the best top two fights, but top to bottom this card is indeed tough to match for the sheer depth of talent. Most every fight could be a "Fight Night" headliner at the very least.

• 3/1.76 Garbrandt/Figueiredo o1½ -170

I do like Figgy but not at -345. Take the over, let's get off to a good start.

You are right pickem. Top to bottom it’s a talented card. Basically no real “no names”. Good luck on your picks.

UFC 300 ~ PEREIRA VS HILL​

3/1.76 Garbrandt/Figueiredo o1½ -170

• 4/2.21 BOBBY GREEN -181
• 3/2.50 GREEN vs MILLER o2½ -120

• Bobby Green-Jim Miller ...Maybe not top contenders, but both guys have been around and stood the test of time. Green may have an advantage with excellent TDD and so long as he keeps the fight upright he should be in control and pick Mill apart from the outside. That said, he likely has to send Jim to the hospital in order to finish him, so it's another over.

Crazy AF this monster made 135...there will be blood!

​

Strategically these fighters all are most assuredly looking for highlight finishes with the 300K bonus. Still these first 2 will likely go over IMHO. Another thing to think about, most every fighter on the card is top level, so they most all have a fighting chance, therefore there will be some dogs cashing without a doubt.​

Thanks for posting brother!

Heading to fight party shortly, can't wait!

Early Prelims
3/1.76 Garbrandt/Figueiredo o1½ -170
[1-0 +1.76u]

4/2.21 BOBBY GREEN -181​

3/2.50 GREEN vs MILLER o2½ -120​

• 2/2.80 MARINA RODRIGUEZ +140
• 2/4.80 MARINA RODRIGUEZ BY 3 RD DECISION +240
• 1.43/3 RENATO MOICANO +210
• 4/3.42 TURNER vs MOICANO u1½-117

​

• Jessica Andrade (25-12) - Marina Rodriguez (17-3-2) ...Marina gets a slight nod in striking and definitely has the length so long as she can control the distance. Jessica has bigger one-shot-power and will be looking to land something big. Marina is more polished striker though and although that's likely her only path to win, I'm still going to back the dog here although Jessica has many ways to win and is a real dog, fight wise.
• Jalin Turner (14-7) - Renato Moicano (18-5-1) ...Moicano is a beast at 155 and takes a lot of damage, he will surely eat some shots trying to get a hold of Turner. Turner has freakish size at this weight and definitely possesses the KO power to finish this one early, but if it hit's the mat I like the Brazilian's chances. Either way I think this one ends early.

• 2/2.24 HOLM VS HARRISON u2½ +112

​

• Sodiq Yusuff (13-3) - Diego Lopes (23-6) ...Yusuff seems to have lost a step lately, esp vs Barboza late in last fight albeit a 5 rounder. That will be tough to overcome vs a fighter like Lopes who keeps the pressure on. I see Diego starting fast and throwing punches in bunches...if the total was 2½ I would probably be on the under, however it will be Lopez and the over for me, although I still see a finish from the accumulation of damage.
• Holly Holm (15-6) - Kayla Harrison (16-1) ... Holly has tons of experience, but I don't see that as much help vs this freak. Other than Cyborg, I've never seen a lady fighter with such an extreme body. Try and I might, I really see no way Holms can be competitive in this fight. I see Kayla bullying her against the fence, taking her down and getting the G-n-P finish. I'll take under and Kayla ITD.

on them all except Moicano. GL

2/2.24 HOLM VS HARRISON u2½ +112​

• 3/4.56 CALVIN KATTAR +152
• 3/1.76 STERLING / KATTAR O2½ -170
• 3/3.06 JIRI PROCHAZKA +102

• Calvin Kattar (23-7) - Aljamain Sterling (23-4) ...Aljo moves up to 145 and gets a stern test right away. Kattar has shown great TDD over the years and a solid standup game. He appeared noticeably bigger at the weigh-ins so that will make the takedowns even harder. I like the doggies tonight, gimme "The Boston Finisher" and the over.
• Jiri Prochazka (29-4-1) - Aleksandar Rakic (14-3) ...Jiri is the more versatile striker while Rakic is more straight forward with straight shots and hooks. This fight realistically could go either way since both guys carry heady power. Really a tough call but I'll back Jiri.

• 3/2.00 Justin Gaethje -150
• 2/1.87 Holloway / Gaethje u4½ -107

​

• Bo Nickal (5-0) - Cody Brundage (10-5) ... This is setup to make Bo look good without doubt. Cody is tough and durable and may make it to round 2, but that's the best he can hope for. Odds make this one hard to play. Bo's the first UFC fighter in history to be favored at least -2000 2 fights in a row and he did it in his 2nd & 3rd UFC fight. lol
• Charles Oliveira (34-9) - Arman Tsarukyan (21-3) ...Arman is a stud prospect without doubt, but you gonna tell me I can get this "do Bronx" at +200! There's no way I even consider the other side.
• Justin Gaethje (25-4) - Max Holloway (25-7) ...WOW, this is the Main Event IMO. We get the "Human Highlight" vs "Blessed" and even though Max is moving up to 155, I still feel this is going to be likely FOTN. Gaethje has more bonuses than anyone, something ridiculous like 10 of his 12 UFC fights have been bonus'd. Bet it how "YOU" like and you wont be wrong as this great battle can definitely go either way.

​

• Alex Pereira (9-2) - Jamahal Hill (12-1) ...Hill's a beast no doubt, but he may be too tough for his own good...both coming bac k so quickly from such a significant injury and wanting to stand an band with "Poatan", careful what you wish for.
